Although several dozen minor galaxies lie closer to our Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy is the closest large spiral galaxy to ours. Excluding the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which can’t be seen from northerly latitudes, the Andromeda galaxy – also known as M31 – is the brightest galaxy you can see. At 2.5 million light-years, it’s also the most distant thing visible to your unaided eye.
Andromeda and the Milky Way are heading on a collision course that will alter the structure of the two galaxies forever. The galaxies are rushing closer to one another at about 70 miles per second (112 kilometers per second). Astronomers estimate that Andromeda will collide with the Milky Way in 4 billion years, with the merger concluding 6 billion years from now. By that time, the sun will have swollen into a red giant and swallowed up the terrestrial planets, so Earth will have other things to worry about...

We were suppose to shoot the rare lunar eclipse at the night of Friday the 27th of July, days of early preparation, we carefully chosen the place we drove off-road to an altitude of 2000m and suddenly in a blink off an eye everything turns to a photography nightmare, powerful wind, heavy fog and high humidity.. after waiting for a couple of hours we decided to drop all our plans and go down to a lower altitude. Things were still not promising at all until a sudden skylight appear, we quickly parked out car and went off to find this mesmerizing view...
